I've spent the last 63 years avoiding the snow, and plan to spend NONE of the next 2 years in CA! I'll be doing the snowbird thing on 2 continents, and narrower tires will be a disadvantage on beaches and mud.

You've got 3.73 gears, and you're going to put on 37's? Does this mean it's not going off road?

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I'd prefer the steel wheels, for the ability to repair in Ecuador. 37" tires can't be found in developing countries either, and I want to keep it looking stock, rather than custom rock crawler. And big tires require big suspension upgrades. I'm going to be...

Rubicon payload is 1300. Sport (Max Tow) is 1600. Both are 50 lbs less with auto trans. There's probably a similar difference in curb weight. I have no idea why there's a 650 lb difference in tow capacity (7000 vs 7650). That's twice the difference in curb weight

I was assuming a higher GVWR, but what you're saying sure makes sense. Steel bumpers, skid plates, Rock sliders. It all adds up! I've never been checked in Canada, but that's with limited time and mileage there. A lot of people don't know how easy our rules are here in the USA. In a lot of...

Thanks a bunch! I don't intend to go bigger than 35, if that. Thinking 2 to 2-1/2 inch lift and 33-34. There are so many countries in South America where having the tires sticking out past the fenders at all is highly illegal. If you can get into the country at all, you will be constantly...

New to the forum, and not totally committed to a Gladiator. I started a thread in the "Overland" pages, but it didn't get any traction, and still have a bunch of questions. It looks like the absolute MAX payload is 1600 lbs, on the Sport, and that doesn't even have lockers as an option. My...

So...I've been reading that the Sport S, with the Max Tow Package is THE choice for heavy payload. I had been thinking Rubicon, because I want one, even though rock crawling doesn't make my top 10 list. I intend to permanently install a 4WC pop-up topper ("Project M") and live on the road full...
